What Causes Swelling In The Fingers While Suffering From Diabetes?
Hello, It could be a cellulitis. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. You have to get an ultrasound Doppler for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
